Multiple SATA disk warnings and failures

I just bought a new hard drive to replace a disk that I was concerned was dying. I ran dmesg just now to see how many more warnings there were, and I see that 3 out of 4 SATA disks are producing warnings.

Is it possible that it's actually the onboard controller that is failing? Each disk is mounted firmly, cooled well, and the chassis has a good quality power supply backed by a UPS. Also, the 5 PATA disks are totally fine; some are almost 8 years old.

Code:

Have you tried the disks in another machine?
Is your PSU powerful enough to handle all nine disks plus whatever else you haven in the machine?
 
The errors seem to happen mostly at night, but not every night. There is high disk IO at night because of the backup scripts.

I can try using new SATA cables, if I have any around. That said, you should see the condition of the 80-wire IDE ones in there!
